Penny Black inc. - alexandra Sunday's scrapbook (1)

Hello Dear Friends! To me, there's no real distinction between the card making and the scrapbooking world. Someone who loves paper craft can have an equally fulfilling experience navigating between the two. So it is my hope that whether you consider yourself to be more a card maker, a stamper, or a scrapbooker, when you come here and visit me, you find some ideas to create, to experiment or preserve your memories. With Penny Black inc. we thought it would be a good idea if I featured a scrapbook page each week-end. So welcome to a first edition of "alexandra Sunday's scrapbook". Your feedback matters a great deal to me. Please feel free to ask questions and add your comments underneath this post.

I used kraft paper for the base. I love kraft, it's like that little black dress, it just goes so well with just about every paper, style imaginable. I also used a couple of pieces of tissue paper underneath the four squares. I love the softness and texture it instantly gives to a page. The half-doily I used is just a regular doily used for baking and bought at a craft store and the shipping tag (Avery) was bought at an office supply store. If you're interested in seeing how I print on a tag, you can click here to see the TUTORIAL. The patterned paper is from the Madison collection. One could very well use three squares of patterned paper + 1 photo.

I put these pages away in a Martha Stewart album (bought at Staples) a much nicer version than the Avery binder I used to have...
Ces pages sont rangées dans un album Martha Stewart, une version bien plus jolie que le classeur Avery que j'avais...

Alexandra, your weekly scrapbook pages are an inspiration, I love how you have gotten away from the traditional 12 x 12 page, it makes Scrapbooking seem far less daunting with this page style. Great analogy of the little black dress to Kraft card...this made me chuckle!
